1998 Hang-gliding Logbook

This Page contains the index for the logbook entries which I have deemed worthy of inclusion into this web site. I am not a great hang-glider pilot but I think that I do have my share of fun.

If you would like to see a table showing where I have been flying for the past three years and how good the flights have been then click here! I use ACCESS to do the number crunching for me. If you would like to have a copy of the program then just ask. You must have ACCESS 2.0 or higher for it to work.

Thursday, October 15, 1998
8 mile flight launching from  Mag At 1:49 PM and landing 1 Hours and  41 Minutes later (3:30 PM) in Mr. Goodner's LZ flying  my Ramair. Highest altitude was 3200 Ft. AGL

I was hoping to land either in the big field west of Havana (Where Mark Poustinchian had landed) or the slanty field north of there but ended up landing about 1 mile west of the NW most Havana LZ. From the air it looked like it would be difficult to land in because there were a lot of trees dotting the field but after I decided on a direction it was a piece of cake. John (from Wisconsin) was planning on landing in the field SW of Mrs. Albright's house but arrived too high and decided to land in the field SE of her house instead (The one with a pond). Dan (also from Wisconsin) did successfully land on the Albright SW field. We left our car in the SE field because a fence had been erected to prevent parking in the normal spot at Mrs. Albright's.
